Hurricane Melissa Relief
On October 28, Hurricane Melissa made landfall in Jamaica as one of the strongest hurricanes on record from the Atlantic Ocean. Even as the storm weakened a bit, damage to neighboring islands in the Caribbean Sea was inevitable.
Your State Board of Missions will forward 100% of all funds designated for Hurricane Melissa Relief to the International Mission Board of the Southern Baptist Convention.
Please pray about whether God is leading you to give in this way to help those who are in desperate need of practical assistance from God’s people.
If you choose to contribute to Disaster Relief efforts, be assured that none of the funds – not one penny – is used for salaries or other overhead. Instead, your gifts will bring help and hope in Jesus’ name in frontline ministry efforts through the IMB.
In addition, please pray for both those affected by the hurricane as well as for members of the Yellow Shirt Army who stand ready to help in onsite relief ministries. These Alabama Baptist Disaster Relief volunteers stand ready to assist with practical needs such as distribution of food and water as well as cleanup and mudout. Each volunteer is also a trained Gospel witness, inviting others to accept Jesus as Savior and Lord.

Alaska Storm Relief
During the week of October 12, 2025, a huge and sudden storm and its aftermath struck parts of Alaska. According to reports, more than 1,500 people were displaced, and many homes were swept out to sea. One observer characterized it as “pure chaos out of nowhere.”
Your State Board of Missions, on behalf of Alabama Baptists, is sending disaster relief funds to support Alaska Baptist relief efforts in affected areas and help to those who had to leave their homes and communities. Pray for Alaska Baptists as they seek to minister in the name of Christ. In addition, the Alabama Baptist Yellow Shirt Army stands ready to help.
If you wish to donate to relief efforts, please know that 100% of the donations will be entirely in addition to what has already been sent from Alabama Baptist Disaster Relief funds.
None of the donations are used for salaries or other overhead, either in Alabama or Alaska. The Cooperative Program has already provided the ministry infrastructure that makes possible the quick deployment of Disaster Relief resources and ministry to affected people.
Your gifts will bring help and hope in Jesus’ name.
